ToiaZZ whom t may concern:

Beit known that I, AMos Gr.BINNs,ot`Goshen township, Mahoning county, State of Ohio, have invented new' and useful Improvements in Churns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereovret'erence being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters ofrelference marked thereon, making a part of thisspecitioation.

The nature of my invention consistsjin the arrangement of curved springs with a rack and toot-lied wheel to operatel the churn.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed'to describe its construction and operation, as follows, to wit:

A represents the box, which is square and into which the cream ispoured. p

B, represents a View of the vertical shaft, having beaters C projecting from its sides. This shaftand beatels I'do not desire to oonfine my invention to, as they are ordinary beaters, old devices common to churns, and I may change the shape of the beaters if I. think proper.

v.D represents the uprightframe, with. cross' pieces or vbraces E and F. From the top crosspeee E, I have two wooden springs, G,.extend ing downward ina ourve,' one on each sidev of frame D, and' at the lower ends of these springs G, I have a rack, H, attaehed,which, wheh the churn .is nottin use, I detaeh, so that the springsG may spread outward and be relieved -ot"w their strain. The rack H is held to the springs G bythe point of the springs passing through the rack, and a small wooden pin' is thrust through the rack. and tenon.

rIhe shaft B works and vibrates in the aperg' i ture J of the cross-piece F. Below the crosspieee Fis a horizontal toothed wheel, I; on the shaft B, which gears i'nto the raek'H. There is a handle, E, at one end of the rack for the purpose of moving the rack back and forward.' The operator thus moves the rack back and forwardvwith his hand', and the rack operates the wheel I and gives motion to the shaftfB, which vibrate the beaters C and s'tir the Cream.

The upright frame D extends down on each side, and is held -to the sides of vbox A by clips L, but knot permanently, so that the frame may be raised at anytime to remove the shaft and beaters wh'ennecessary to do so.

A small block, 5M, is attached tothe underm side of lower crosspiece, F, to serve as a guide to the straight movement of the rack HL What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The arrangement and combination of the springs G, rack K, and wheel I, arranged. and oombined as herein described, and for the pury poses. set forth.
